June John McCombs - A JCC Fit Dad
John has been an active member since August
2004. He and his wife Robin, are parents to 4
beautiful, athletic children. John has made
fitness a priority his entire life.
My goal is to live forever or die trying! Fitness
helps me maintain an active life style and I hate
to think of what my health would be if I didn’t work out.
Congratulations John!
July Sheila Berkowitz - A JCC Fit Grandmother
For more than four decades, Sheila has made
fitness a priority in her life. Originally from
Elizabeth, New Jersey, Sheila has continued her
fitness regime in sunny Scottsdale, with husband
Bob, and calls the JCC her home for fitness.
Sheila’s secret to her wellness success is making fitness a part of her daily
life. I truly feel tired and listless when I miss a workout.
Sheila’s future goals and ambitions are to stay healthy, vibrant and fit.
She strives to be an inspiration to her grandchildren.
Sheila’s advice to fellow JCC members... “It takes 21 days to make a
lifestyle change a habit… Do what feels good to you!”
Congratulations Sheila! Thank you for being an inspiration to us all.
